High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, lower utility bills, and enhance comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, preserving occupants and structure. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective coatings reduce spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Rapid Restoration Work, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the site. After isolating the area, we clear loose pieces, assess conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather, security, and energy control.
You get clear timelines: triage within hours, followed by precise measurements for replacement. For Storm damage, we assess frame plumb, seal integrity, and hardware alignment, then recommend insulated, tempered, or laminated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, maintain drainage paths, and label hazards. Our technicians verify safe egress, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Navigating HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we commence your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections happen. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates impacting glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we run verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single more info pane, we align glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety for the long haul.
